Robert Meadows, managing partner at Newstead & Walker, said about the appointment: “David has been a valuable member of the private client team for the last six years and this appointment to partner is testament to his dedication, loyalty and hard work. The other partners and I are really looking forward to the energy and enthusiasm that David will bring to the senior management team.”
“The whole team see this as a fitting appointment as we look to the future and the New Year, as we enter our 200th Anniversary from when Henry Newstead first began practising as a solicitor in Otley.”
